Every time I get an error with npm, It prints about 20 lines of useless Darwin error. For example, if I run eslint with npm run lint and it detects lint errors, I get this:
/Users/testerez/projects/test/webpack.config.js
11:7 error 'modules' is defined but never used no-unused-vars

I lived with it for months now but I found it noisy and I'm wondering if it's the expected behavior.
running:
node v4.4.2 installed with nvm
npm 3.8.5
on OSX el Capitan
In fact, it's the expected behavior. A workaround is to use -s or --silent
